I have some important news to share will all of you: Resound NW is moving to a new location.

For nearly 5 years, Resound NW has been located in the little house on NW Overton. Our lease has expired and the owners of the property were not willing to renew our lease. It is our understanding that the house is going to be redeveloped for another use.

Of course, we are sad to say goodbye to our adorable little music house on NW Overton. Over the past 5 years, such amazing music has been made within these walls - we are so grateful for the community, the music, the education, and the breakthroughs that each of you have experienced here. We will miss this sweet little location, but look forward to the next home for our musical community.

Over the past several months, I have been in the midst of a search for our new permanent home. This search has not resulted in the perfect fit for our music school just yet. I have decided to continue our search for a permanent space and obtain transitional studio space for the time being.

Our new (temporary) location is a beautiful Victorian house in the Goose Hollow neighborhood. (Built in 1891! Check out the picture above.) The address is 1512 SW 18th Ave., Portland, OR 97201, which is just about mile from our current location. This house will be a wonderful studio for lessons and classes, including 3 teaching studios and space for group classes. There's free parking on the surrounding streets, and it's just a couple blocks from a MAX stop. We will likely hold our lessons and classes in this location through February of 2018, after which we will relocate to a more permanent home.

Lastly, please note that our relocation will be happening quite soon! We are beginning the process of relocating right now. The last day of lessons and classes at NW Overton will be Saturday, September 23. And starting Monday, September 25, all lessons and classes will happen at the new location.

Other than this, everything else remains the same for Resound NW! We will continue to teach private voice and piano lessons with our 4 instructors (Nicholas, Claire, Joannah, and myself) plus regular Song Studio and SoulSinging classes. We look forward to making music together.

We are updating our pricing structure for lessons with staff instructors at Resound NW. This new pricing structure will be in effect beginning September 1, 2017.

This new pricing structure allows us to continue to provide you with the best possible music education.

We are happy to answer any questions you have and discuss the best options for your lessons at Resound NW. You can speak with your private instructor or contact our office at info@resoundnw.com.

"Song Studio" is a performance class where Resound NW students perform a song they have prepared and receive valuable coaching on their performance. The class includes a mini-lesson for each student plus a professional pianist to accompany him or her.

This class is fun, low-key, and an exciting way to learn about the craft of singing!
